Joyce Gets a Helping Hand

“A river cuts through rock not because of its power, but because of its persistence.” – James D. Watkins.

Hot Cares recently met Joyce at a children’s youth day event where we experienced her warmth, tenacity and her serving heart. She stood for 7 hours mixing and frying vetkoek by hand for over 350 underprivileged children.

For Joyce, this was just another day at work and not to earn any extra money; it was to make sure that these children had something to eat before and during their sports festival.

An informal trader and a single mom who earns a living by preparing fresh vetkoek to sell to the community on their way to work.

Joyce’s love for doing things for others touched the Hot Cares team when we saw how big her eyes got when she saw the fryer at the school tuck shop where she prepared 100’s of vetkoek for the children, and we couldn’t believe how many she could cook at once.

To boost her productivity and her business, Hot Cares will be purchasing a double electric fryer as well as an electric mixer.
